Windows 10: Problem with Robocopy GUI, does not copy/mirror

Hi

3 PC's Windows 10 fully updated

I have used Robocopy on three PC's for a couple of years.

I have a USB that I use at work then when I get home I
mirror the USB to my PC's

This has always worked well but now on one of my PC's
nothing changes in the Target older.

My Source Path is H:\Robert and Target Path is C:\Robert.
I check / MIR on the Copy Options Tab.

This definitely only does not work on one W10 PC

What am I missing?

Any help or comments appreciated.

Regards

Daniel

Robocopy with /MIR fails with Recycle Bin error message

Hello Jim,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

I can understand the situation must be difficult for you when things do not work as they should. However, let us follow these methods and check if that helps.

I would suggest you to exclude Recycle bin (/xd ‘D:\$Recycle.Bin’)
while copying files from D drive to E drive and check if the issue persist. If OneDrive is synching and online while you are copying files, you will come across this error message ‘OneDrive is in use’. However,
if you still have user files under C drive, try to copy them directly to E drive and check if the issue persist.

For more information on Robocopy, refer the Microsoft article on
Robocopy /MIR switch – mirroring file permissions
and Robocopy
and a Few Examples.

As you are just copying the user data files, you can achieve the same result using Copy and paste feature in Windows through GUI.


However, as the issue is related to copying files through Robocopy, let me point you in the right direction where you will be able to get the support for the issue that you are facing. I would suggest you to post your query in the
TechNet forums, where you will be able to find
support from professionals and members for this particular issue.
